Exactly, Kate! Are gulls especially bothersome, or are we merely “supposed” to resent them?

To me, gulls are cheerful reminders of vacation. They’ve followed the rivers into the continent, meaning they’re even around here, where the closest saltwater is hundreds of miles away, and across the mountains.

That versatility always amazes.

As you and others have observed elsewhere in this post, so it goes with other species as well. Though certain traits may be undesirable, other qualities inspire admiration. Why waste time obsessing over the negative when there’s a life to be lived?

All pests don’t mean to be pests…sometimes they are just being themselves. 😀

When I lived near the Pacific ocean I always enjoyed watching the seagulls! They always seem busy and happy. And one time I saw seagulls in Denver, Colorado! I didn’t know seagulls went that far inland!
